Aero bars for an Allez...

[Pointy boy]

Hi,

Can anyone recommend some not-too-pricey clip-on aero bars that will fit my 'spare' bike - a 2014 Allez? Nothing too serious, as I just fancy giving them a go to see if they suit me... But something decent enough that I can get a proper feel for it. I've seen a few very cheap one on ebay, but don't mind spending a few quid more for something that really works.
Advice and experiences appreciated :-)

Cheers.

All you really need to know is your bar diameter so that the bars fit. Personally I would get separate bars you can adjust rather than a combined single bar which restricts adjustment.

very adjustable

About 60p each I seem to remember....

thanks guys. The Deda ones look good, but can't help thinking that Andy_R's would be lighter....

And so much easier to adjust.....

OK... another daft question: the bars will attach near where my bar-tape ends, and where the brake-cables emerge from under the tape. Does the clamp go around the cables as well, or would I need to bend the cables around the clamps? None of the one's I've looked at so far seem to have a notch in the clamp to allow for the cables.... ...which would seem like an obvious solution....?

Clamp over the bars only!
I bought "token" clip on's only about £30, alloy, really light, work well, can't remember who I got them from.

Do not put the cables under the clamp. You'll crush the cables and the bars will slip.

Thanks Guys. Yep, the Token's seem to get good reviews for cheap bars. I think I'll give 'em a go.

cheers.

How did you get on with them . I'm also in the process of getting a set of aero bars and was looking at the Deda's. How did the token's workout. Cheers
